The author seemed to have no trouble wearing it for so long, but I think it would be incredibly uncomfortable after a short while for the majority of users. Wearing my super-light eyeglasses all day every day is eventually uncomfortable for me. I looove taking my glasses off before bed, it’s such a relief, so I can’t imagine adding all that extra weight when I’ve got two perfectly functional monitors in front of me.
And I’m totally in favor of AR/VR/MR or whatever, it just has to be insanely light and comfortable if I’m expected to wear it for more than 30 minutes at a time.
Where tf are my smart contact lenses, I was promised by various scifi shows and books that I would have smart contacts by now 😡
Did you miss the Sci fi shows that taught us that we have to let the tech tycoons enjoy new technology exclusively for a good decade or so before it can be sold to the masses? So your smart contacts are probably in Tim Cook or Satya Nadella's secret lab in a mountain valley.
